What's your cut off point to bullshit?

[ferriswheel]

I have recently left an abusive marriage.

I'm professionally very strong but personally I've obviously been through a lot.

I'm trying to find my feet in life again.

How do you decide when to turn a blind eye?

When do you call people out on their bad behaviour?

I'm trying to be me as again.

It depends on the situation - what I'm going through, what they're going through, how much bullshit, (malicious bullshit or something else?) and whether it's typical or not.

Does it make you feel uncomfortable or disrespected? If so, don't put up with it.

I like your cut off point. How do you go about sticking up for yourself?

Is perfect for you, I strongly advise everyone to go and view it

I will definitely go and have a look. To be honest it sounds amazing.

But my concern is that not giving a fuck is for rich people.

I guess that's part of my problem. With three children under the age of 5 how do I ensure I provide for them whilst being strong and not putting up with shit?

I understand your point, but I think she can only tell her story from her own background and experience
You could easily apply what she says to your life

Such as can you lend me money. But you know you have a tenner left all week, but it's your friend and you don't want to upset her

Can you babysit for me? But your kids have been on the go all day and you need an early night

It's about working within your limits and tolerances, the tricky bit is to achieve any of this, means growing a thicker skin and being honest. We are less honest with ourselves than we like to admit, if people communicated better in the world, then we would be happier.

We're so,afraid of upsetting anyone, we end up accepting things that upset ourselves more

There's an age old saying on this forum, NO is a complete sentence
Also always trust your instincts, they are the oldest most evolved sense you will ever have 💐
